| White to play 4-2. |
White in turn makes his opponent’s 5 point with a man from black’s 1 point and starts his own 4 point with a man from his 6 point. He is leaving two blots in his outer board because he is trying to lure black off his own 5 point. Once again, an example of correct expert tactics which are seldom, if ever, followed in average competition.
